Painted buntings are small brightly colored birds. They are 12 to 13cm in length with an average body weight of 16 grams. Adult birds are dimorphic, the males being brightly colored. The head and nape of the males is blue, the back is bronze-green and the rump and underparts are red.The females are less brilliantly colored having dark greenish upperparts and yellow-green underparts.The wings and tail of both the male and female are dark brown or black contrasting with the rest of the body. The feet and legs, eyes and bill of both sexes are dark in color. The feet and legs are dull to dusky brown, the eyes are dark brown to hazel and the bill is dark brown to blackish in color. Plumage of juvenile birds resembles that of the adult female. The males differentiate from the females during their second year where they begin to exhibit the blue feathers on their head (Lowther et al. 1999).
Range mass: 13 to 19 g.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Painted buntings are also known by the French as Passerin nonpareil meaning without equal (Lowther et al. 1999). "According to an American Indian legend, when the great spirit was giving all the birds thier colors, he ran short of dye so he gave the very last one, the painted bunting, a coat of many colors made from dabs of whatever was left." (Pope 1991)
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Overall there has been a general decline in painted bunting numbers since the mid 1960's. Their desirability as caged birds and loss of habitat is the primary cause of their decline. Painted Buntings are still trapped and sold in Central America and transported over-seas by ship. Habitat destruction constitutes the main reason for their decline. Development of coastal swamp thickets and woodland edges has significantly reduced their eastern coastal habitats. The loss of mid-migratory staging areas (riparian habitat) in southwest USA and in northwest Mexico have contributed to the western population decline. To a lesser extent brood parasitism by cowbirds (Molothrus ) contributes to the Painted bunting's decline. The painted bunting is currently listed on Partners in Flight Watchlist as a species of special concern (Kaufmann 1996, Lowther et al. 1999).
Painted buntings are listed as near-threatened by the IUCN, and they are protected by the U.S. Migratory Bird Act.
US Migratory Bird Act: protected
US Federal List: no special status
CITES: no special status
State of Michigan List: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: near threatened
Painted buntings are highly desired as caged birds due to their brightly colored plumage. Painted buntings are trapped and sold in large numbers in Central America and exported from New Orleans , by ship, to Europe where they are sold for greatly inflated prices. (Lowther et al. 1999)
Painted buntings are diurnal foragers, mainly feeding on grass seeds (Panicum spp., Amaranthus spp., Oxalis spp., Euphorbia spp. and Carex spp.) when in the wintering habitat and arthropods (grasshoppers[Orthoptera], caterpillars [Lepidoptera larvae], spiders [Arachnida] and snails [Gastropoda]) in their breeding habitat. The majority of food is foraged from the ground with some seeds being taken directly from the grass stalk. Painted buntings have also been observed stealing prey caught in spider webs (Kaufmann 1996; Lowther et al. 1999).
Painted bunting breeding range is divided into a western and an eastern population.The western population ranges from Kansas south to Louisiana and Texas. The eastern population is limited to the coastal regions of North Carolina south to northern Florida. The western population winters primarily in Mexico and as far south as Panama. The eastern populations winter in southern Florida, including the Florida Keys, and are occasionally seen to winter in the Bahamas and Cuba (Lowther et al. 1999).
Biogeographic Regions: nearctic (Native ); neotropical (Native )
The western population's breeding habitat consists of partially open areas scattered with brush, riparian thickets and shrubbery. The eastern population's breeding habitat consists of scrub communities and the margins of maritime hammocks.
Wintering habitat is similar for both the western and eastern populations, consisting of tropical forest margins and tropical savanna.
Foraging habitat is the same as either their breeding or wintering habitat. During migration foraging can occur in mixed flocks with indigo buntings
(Kaufmann 1996, Lowther et al. 1999).
Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland ; scrub forest
Average lifespan
Status: wild: 126 months.
The breeding season begins in late April through to early August peaking mid-May through to mid-July. Males usually arrive at the breeding territory one week before the females. Pairs are usually monogamous with rare instances of polygyny. Nests are located in low lying vegetation. The nests are built by the females and woven into the surrounding vegetation for strength. The females raise two broods per season laying between 3 and 4 eggs per brood. The eggs are incubated for a period of 11 days until the altricial young hatch. Parental care of the young is solely the female's responsibility until fledging occurs 12-14 days later . Time between fledging in the first nest to the second nest is around 30 days (Kaufman 1996; Lowther et al. 1999).
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; oviparous
Average time to hatching: 11 days.
Average eggs per season: 4.
The Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) is a small, brightly colored songbird that breeds in the southeastern and southcentral United States and winters in the Florida Keys, the Caribbean, Mexico, and portions of Central America. The breeding range includes two disjunct populations, separated by a 550 km gap. The interior breeding population is found mainly from northeastern Mexico and Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana east along the Gulf Coast to southern Alabama and locally in western Florida. The Atlantic Coast population is limited to coastal portions of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and northeastern Florida.
In the breeding season, Painted Buntings are found in partly open situations with dense brush and scattered trees, riparian thickets, and weedy and shrubby areas. In migration and winter, they are found in a variety of open weedy, grassy, and scrub habitats, as well as in open woodland.
Painted Buntings feed mostly on seeds and insects, foraging mainly on the ground but also in shrubs and low trees (although males typically deliver their warbling songs from higher in the trees). During migration, Painted Buntings may forage in mixed flocks with Indigo Buntings (P. cyanea).
A male Painted Bunting may have more than one mate. The female builds the nest and lays 3 to 4 (sometimes 5) eggs. Nests are frequently parasitized by cowbirds. Incubation (by the female only) is 11 to 12 days. The nestlings are fed by the female and leave the nest 12 to 14 days after hatching, at which time the male may take over feeding if the female begins incubating a second clutch.
Across their breeding distribution, abundance estimates indicate that the Painted Bunting is in long-term decline. One key factor contributing to the overall decline of the Painted Bunting is loss of breeding habitat as a result of urban development, road-building, and agricultural intensification. The effects of this habitat loss are most acute along the Atlantic Coast, where this species’ distribution is limited. Loss of riparian habitats in the southwestern United States and northwest Mexico, used during migration by the interior population, may also be influencing population levels in this species and wintering habitats in Central America continue to be degraded. It is likely that the cage bird trade on the wintering grounds has also played and continues to play an important role in the Painted Bunting's decline. The colorful adult males have been been traded for a very long time, with thousands of live birds having being shipped to Europe for sale in the early 19th century. This trade was banned in the United States in the early 20th century, but continues to be legal in other countries. Some estimates suggest that at least 100,000 Painted Buntings were trapped in Mexico between 1984 and 2000. International trade in wild-caught birds was banned in Mexico from 1982 to 1999, but resumed quickly after the ban was lifted.
Genetic data and studies of differential timing and patterns of molt and migration support the recognition of two allopatric and genetically isolated breeding populations in the southern United States, an important finding to guide conservation planning. These isolated populations represent incipient species--distinct evolutionarily significant units (ESUs)--which likely require distinct management plans.

Der Papstfink (Passerina ciris) ist ein in Amerika heimischer Singvogel aus der Familie der Kardinäle. Er gilt als einer der farbenprächtigsten Singvögel Nordamerikas.[1]
Das Männchen ist am Kopf indigoblau, an den Flügeln und am Schwanz dunkelgrün, auf der Unterseite leuchtend rot gefärbt. Das Weibchen ist am Scheitel, Nacken und Rücken limonengrün und an der Kehle und der Unterseite gelbgrün gefärbt. Die Kopffedern des Weibchens sind manchmal blau.
Der Papstfink brütet im Südosten und Süden der USA sowie im äußersten Norden Mexiko. Er überwintert in Mexiko und im US-Bundesstaat Florida, auf den Bahamas, auf Jamaika und in Mittelamerika. Er lebte ursprünglich in buschbestandenen Ödländern oder in lichten Wäldern, heute bewohnt er als Kulturfolger des Menschen Obstplantagen, Parks oder Gärten.
Der Papstfink ist äußerst scheu und heimlich, singende Männchen sind leichter zu beobachten. Er ernährt sich von Insekten und ihren Larven.
In der Paarungszeit bleibt das Männchen in seinem Revier und verteidigt es aggressiv gegen Artgenossen. Das Nest aus Zweigen und Gräsern wird in einem kleinen Baum oder einem Busch gebaut und mit weichen Pflanzenteilen und Tierhaaren ausgepolstert. Das Weibchen bebrütet 3–4 Eier zwei Wochen lang.

The painted bunting (Passerina ciris) is a species of bird in the cardinal family, Cardinalidae. It is native to North America. The bright plumage of the male only comes in the second year of life; in the first year they can only be distinguished from the female by close inspection.
The painted bunting was originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his eighteenth-century work Systema Naturae.[2] There are two recognized subspecies of the painted bunting.[3][4]
The painted bunting is also called the Mexican canary, painted finch, pope, or nonpareil.[5]
The male painted bunting is often described as the most beautiful bird in North America and as such has been nicknamed nonpareil, or "without equal".[6] Its colors, dark blue head, green back, red rump, and underparts, make it extremely easy to identify, but it can still be difficult to spot since it often skulks in foliage even when it is singing. The plumage of female and juvenile painted buntings is green and yellow-green, serving as camouflage. Once seen, the adult female is still distinctive, since it is a brighter, truer green than other similar songbirds. Adult painted buntings can measure 12–14 cm (4.7–5.5 in) in length, span 21–23 cm (8.3–9.1 in) across the wings and weigh 13–19 g (0.46–0.67 oz).[7][8]
The juveniles have two inserted molts in their first autumn, each yielding plumage like an adult female. The first starts a few days after fledging, replacing the juvenile plumage with an auxiliary formative plumage; and the second a month or so later giving the formative plumage.[9]
Painted bunting eggs are pale blue-white speckled or spotted with brown. Three to four eggs (or occasionally five) appear from March to July in cup-shaped nests usually built in brush or low trees, usually 3 to 6 feet from the ground but up to 12 feet.[5]
The painted bunting occupies typical habitat for a member of its family. It is found in thickets, woodland edges with riparian thickets, shrubbery and brushy areas. In the east, the species breeds in maritime hammocks and scrub communities. Today, it is often found along roadsides and in suburban areas, and in gardens with dense, shrubby vegetation. The wintering habitat is typically the shrubby edges along the border of tropical forests or densely vegetated savanna.[10] The breeding range is divided into two geographically separate areas. These include southern Arizona, southern New Mexico, southern and eastern Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, northern Florida, coastal Georgia, the southern coast and inland waterways such as the Santee River of South Carolina and northern Mexico.[1] They winter in South Florida, Cuba, the Bahamas, along both coasts of Mexico and through much of Central America. Occasionally, vagrants may appear further north, including to New York,[11][12] Pennsylvania,[13] and New Jersey.[14] The bird is also found every few years as far north as New Brunswick, Canada.[15] Genetic analyses showed that the species can be divided into three main groups on their breeding grounds: a western, central and eastern group.[16]
Painted buntings are shy, secretive and often difficult to observe with the human eye, though can be fairly approachable where habituated to bird feeders. Males sing in spring from exposed perches to advertise their territories. They also engage in visual displays including flying bouncingly like a butterfly or in an upright display, body-fluff display, bow display and wing-quiver display. These displays are used in agonistic conflicts with other males or in breeding displays for females, with females rarely engaging in displays. Occasionally, males may physically clash with each other and may even kill each other in such conflicts.[7] When their breeding season has concluded, buntings migrate by night over short to medium distances. Western birds (Arizona and northern Mexico) molt in mid-migration, while eastern birds tend to molt before they migrate.[10]
Painted buntings often feed by hopping along the ground, cautiously stopping every few moments to look around. They regularly eat seeds of grasses, such as Panicum, of sedges such as Carex, and forbs such as Amaranthus, Oxalis, and Euphorbia. In winter painted bunting eat seeds almost exclusively, but while breeding, and in feeding their nestlings, they mainly seek out small invertebrates, including spiders, snails, and insects such as grasshoppers and caterpillars. Sometimes they visit spider webs opportunistically to pick off insects caught in them.[10]
Painted buntings are mostly monogamous and are solitary or in pairs during the breeding season, but sometimes exhibit polygyny. The breeding season begins in late April and lasts through to early August, with activity peaking mid-May through to mid-July. The male arrives about a week before the female and starts to establish a small territory. The nest is typically hidden in low, dense vegetation and is built by the females and woven into the surrounding vegetation for strength.[10] Each brood contains three or four gray-white eggs, often spotted with brown, which are incubated for around 10 days until the altricial young are hatched. The female alone cares for the young. The hatchlings are brooded for approximately 12 to 14 days and then fledge at that time. About 30 days after the first eggs hatch, the female painted bunting usually lays a second brood.[10] Nests are often parasitized by cowbirds.[10] Common predators at the nest of eggs, young, and brooding females are large snakes, including coachwhip snakes, eastern kingsnakes, eastern racers and black rat snakes.[10] The painted bunting can live to over 10 years of age, though most wild buntings probably live barely half that long.[10]
The male painted bunting was once a very popular caged bird, but its capture and holding is currently illegal.[17] Trapping for overseas sale may still occur in Central America.[10] Populations are primarily declining due to habitat being lost to development, especially in coastal swamp thickets and woodland edges in the east and riparian habitats in migration and winter in the Southeastern United States and Mexico.[10] They are protected by the U.S. Migratory Bird Act.

Sateenkaarikardinaali, aikaisemmalta nimeltään paavipeippo[2] (Passerina ciris) on värikäs Keski-Amerikassa ja eteläisessä Yhdysvalloissa elävä kardinaaleihin kuuluva varpuslintu.[1] Sen kannaksi arvioidaan 4,5 miljoonaa yksilöä.
Pituudeltaan sateenkaarikardinaali on noin 12–13-senttinen.[3] Lajin koirasta sanotaan usein Pohjois-Amerikan kauneimmaksi linnuksi. Koiraan pää on kirkkaansininen, selkä ja siivet vihreät sekä vatsa kirkkaanpunainen. Naaras ja nuori koiras ovat väritykseltään huomattavasti vaatimattomampia: höyhenpuku on kauttaaltaan vihreä ja yläpuoli on alapuolta tummempi.[4]
Sateenkaarikardinaalilla on kaksi maantieteellisesti erotettavaa esiintymisaluetta. Läntinen alue ulottuu Meksikosta Yhdysvaltoihin pohjoiseen Texasiin asti, itäinen alue käsittää Pohjois-Carolinasta Floridaan ulottuvan alueen. Läntisen populaation elinympäristöä ovat kuivahkot pensaikkomaat, kun itäisen populaation yksilöt elävät rannikon maatalousmailla.[5]
Laji on muuttolintu. Läntisen populaation yksilöt muuttavat Lounais-Meksikoon, ja itäisellä esiintymisalueella elävät yksilöt talvehtivat Etelä-Floridassa ja Karibialla.[5]
Laji tavattiin Suomessa vuonna 1982 Lågskärillä, mutta havaittu lintu oli hyvin todennäköisesti häkkikarkulainen.[6]
Sateenkaarikardinaalikoiraat ovat tarkkoja reviireistään. Ne ilmoittavat reviiriensä rajat laulamalla korkeassa puussa usein kätkeytyneinä lehvistöön. Koiraiden välillä käydään kiivaita taisteluita reviireistä, ja taistelut voivat päättyä jopa toisen koiraan kuolemaan.[4]
Kuppimaisen pesänsä laji tekee matalan kasvillisuuden joukkoon ruohoista ja kasvinosista. Naaras munii yleensä 3–4 vaaleansinistä harmaa- tai ruskeapilkullista munaa.[3]
Lisääntymisaikanaan sateenkaarikardinaalit syövät hyönteisiä, toukkia ja hämähäkkejä. Talven ja syksyn aikana lajin ravinto koostuu pääasiassa siemenistä.[3] Ruokailu tapahtuu pääasiassa maassa tai matalassa pensaikossa.[4]
Sateenkaarikardinaalikannan kooksi arvioidaan 14 000 000 sukukypsää yksilöä. Christmas Bird Countin tilastojen perusteella kanta olisi suurempi kuin vuonna 1966, mutta Breeding Bird Surveyn mukaan 2000-luvulla kanta olisi lievästi vähentynyt. IUCN pitää lajin kantaa vakaana ja luokittelee sen elinvoimaiseksi. Lajin keskeisimpinä uhkina IUCN pitää kaupungistumisen, teiden rakentamisen ja maanviljelyn tehostamisen aiheuttamia elinympäristön tuhoutumisia sekä häkkilintukauppaa. Lehmäturpiaalin pesäloisinta saattaa olla myös mahdollinen uhka.[1]

Passerina ciris
Le Passerin nonpareil (Passerina ciris) ou Pape de Louisiane, est une espèce de passereau de la famille des Cardinalidae.
Le mâle Passerin Nonpareil est souvent décrit comme le plus bel oiseau d'Amérique du Nord. Sa tête bleu persan, son dos jaune canari et sa croupe rouge le rendent aisé à identifier. Ses couleurs intenses et son roucoulement en font un oiseau de cage apprécié au Mexique, en Amérique centrale, et dans les Caraïbes, où il est connu sous le nom espagnol de mariposa pintada, ou papillon coloré. Le plumage de la femelle et de l'oisillon est vert et jaune-vert, leur servant de camouflage dans les broussailles et les lisières de bois.
Les passerins nonpareils sont généralement monogames, et vivent solitaires, ou en couple durant la saison des amours. Ils sont timides, secrets et souvent difficiles à observer.
Ils se nourrissent de graines, d'insectes et de chenilles.
Son aire de nidification s'étend sur le sud des États-Unis et le nord du Mexique ; il hiverne dans le sud de la Floride, le nord des Caraïbes, au Mexique et en Amérique centrale.
Leur population est en relatif déclin, à cause de la régression de leur zone d'habitat, détruite par le développement humain.

Il papa della Louisiana (Passerina ciris Linnaeus, 1758) è un uccello appartenente alla famiglia dei Cardinalidae[2] diffuso nell'America centro-settentrionale.
Il papa della Louisiana misura circa 13 cm di lunghezza[3] e presenta un accentuato dimorfismo sessuale: il maschio è infatti assai variopinto, con il ventre di un rosa acceso, il groppone verde e la testa blu, mentre la femmina, similmente a quella di altre specie affini, ha una colorazione verde e brunastra assai meno appariscente per essere meno facilmente individuabile dai predatori durante la nidificazione e la cova.
La specie è tendenzialmente schiva. Si nutre di semi e di insetti. Il nido, a forma di coppa, è costituito da erba e ramoscelli e imbottito con materiale soffice. Viene costruito su cespugli e arbusti, generalmente ad altezza media.
È un uccello migratore che nidifica negli Stati Uniti sud-orientali e in Messico. Trascorre l'inverno in vari paesi dell'America centrale, compresi quelli insulari di Cuba, Bahamas e Giamaica, oltre che in Florida. Frequenta diversi tipi di habitat.

De purpergors (Passerina ciris) is een zangvogel uit de familie van de kardinaalachtigen (Cardinalidae).[2] De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1758 door Linnaeus als Emberiza ciris.
De mannetjes hebben een helderblauwe kop, nek en schouders en een groene rug, vleugels en staart, die tevens getooid is met rode veren. De onderzijde is vermiljoenrood en de stuit is oranje. De ogen zijn bruin, de snavel en poten zijn hoornkleurig. Vrouwtjes hebben een grijsgroene bovenzijde en een lichter geelgroene onderzijde. De lichaamslengte bedraagt 14 cm.
Deze vogel is uitzonderlijk schuw en teruggetrokken en is moeilijk waarneembaar, behalve als het mannetje zit te zingen. Hij leeft van een verscheidenheid aan zaden, insecten en insectelarven.
Het nest is strak, diep en komvormig en is gemaakt van twijgen en gras met een zachte voering. Het bevindt zich halfhoog in een struik of jonge boom.
Deze soort broedt in de zuidoostelijke VS, Mexico, Bahama's, Cuba en Jamaica (soms ook in Florida). In het westen van het verspreidingsgebied leeft de vogel in gebieden met struikgewas. In het oosten komt de vogel voor in extensief gebruik agrarisch gebied in kustvlaktes.[1]
De soort telt twee ondersoorten:
De aantallen van de purpergors dalen en daarom is deze vogel in 2004 op de Rode Lijst van de IUCN geplaatst. Het leefgebied van deze vogel wordt bedreigd door verstedelijking en intensivering van de landbouw. In Mexico komt daarbij nog vogelvangst voor de handel. Om deze redenen heeft de purpergors de status gevoelig.[1]

Расписно́й овся́нковый кардина́л[1] (лат. Passerina ciris) — певчая птица семейства кардиналовых (Cardinalidae).
У самца голова синего, а крылья и хвост тёмно-зелёного цвета, нижняя сторона окрашена в ярко-красный цвет. У самки макушка, затылок и спина лимонно-зелёного цвета, а горло и нижняя сторона окрашены в жёлто-зелёный цвет. Иногда перья на голове самки синие.
Распространена на юго-востоке США и в Мексике. Зимует на Багамах, на Ямайке и в Центральной Америке. Первоначально обитала в поросших кустарником пустошах или в светлых лесах, сегодня как гемерофил населяет фруктовые плантации, парки или сады.
Это крайне робкая и таинственная птица, поющих самцов наблюдать легче. Птицы питаются насекомыми и их личинками.
Во время тока самец остаётся на своём участке и агрессивно защищает его от сородичей. Гнездо из веточек и трав строят на маленьком дереве или кусте и набивают мягкими частями растений и шерстью животных. Самка высиживает 3–4 яйца 2 недели.
